# Garry Ringrose

Garry Ringrose (born 26 January 1995) is an Irish professional rugby union player who plays as a centre for United Rugby Championship club Leinster and the Ireland national team.

## Club career
### Leinster

Following Ringrose's performances for the Ireland under-20s, Leinster coach Leo Cullen handed Ringrose his Pro12 debut against Cardiff Blues on 12 September 2015. He scored his first Pro14 try in his second match, a 37–13 win against Newport Gwent Dragons on 3 October. Ringrose captained Leinster in the 2020 Pro 14 Final in which Leinster defeated rivals Ulster by a scoreline of 27–5 to cap off an undefeated domestic season.
In November 2023 Ringrose was named Leinster club co-captain alongside James Ryan following the retirement of Johnny Sexton.

## International career
### Ireland

Ringrose debuted for the Ireland under-20s against Scotland at the 2014 Six Nations Under 20s Championship, but he was dropped, and played no further part in the tournament, after his side's second game against Wales. He returned to the side for the 2014 IRB Junior World Championship and scored three tries as Ireland reached the semi-finals. His performances at the tournament led to his inclusion on the four-man shortlist for World Rugby Junior Player of the Year.
Ringrose was selected on the bench for Ireland's historic win against the All Blacks in Chicago in November 2016, but did not take the field. He did though win his first Ireland cap a week later, starting the 52–21 win against Canada at the Aviva Stadium. In the final game of Ireland's 2016 Autumn Internationals series, he scored his first international try in a 27–24 victory over Australia. He was named in the Ireland Squad for the 2017 Six Nations Championship and scored a try, set up by Paddy Jackson, in the second round against Italy. He scored his third and fourth tries against Japan respectively in the first and second tests played over the summer of 2017.
